ABSTRACT
Although there are a number of transitions of care initiatives that address specific needs as patients move across healthcare settings, adverse events still occur during handoffs. Transitions of care create periods of vulnerability for populations with complex needs that include communication gaps, medication changes, and poorly coordinated treatment plans, often without involving patients and their families. This paper outlines what nurses need to know to provide for safe transitions of care across the healthcare continuum. The theoretical basis for transitions of care at the macro level, examples of nurse-led models for transitions of care, and key activities and implications for nursing education and practice are described. A holistic framework for effective transitions of care across healthcare settings can guide nursing educators in the development of specific nursing competencies for transitions of care.
